Anyone know anything about the Yugo M70 .32 ACP autos?

Look neat and give 177 ft lbs KE with Sellier ball.

Thoughts?

Seems like an interesting little gun and like all things Yugo/Serbian it is probably very well made. However, I am not so sure that I would want to rely on a .32 acp as a carry gun. I personally would rather pay a little more and have something in 9mm.

But, as a fun little plinker I think it would be the bees knees. I have a Colt M1903 and a CZ70 in .32ACP and I like shooting them.

Reportedly decent enough, but I'm not really sure it makes sense for most people in 2018.

I picked one up from Aim this spring, I have some wierd attraction to 32ACP.
I like it, shoots nice, fits my hand well and ammo is pretty cheap. If I do carry anything in 32 I use S&B fmj rounds. I have had no issues feeding with them and the FPS is among to highest if I recall correctly. The guns are all steel and sturdy, which makes them on the heavy side for carry. But most of my carry guns are steel and wood so I don't mind.

Seems further "pickins" has revealed these were not really used in any great numbers by the Yugo police or military. It's really a civilian pistol that made its way into those hands, from all reports inside the country (well now Serbia but you know what I mean). Kind of drops the interest level just a tick for me personally.
